The design of active workspaces
… people engaged in productive tasks. These Active Workspaces are an emerging class of applications that combine interaction design, innovative input and output techniques and multi-media coaching methodologies to teach people to create things in the physical domain. The design and implementation of …

Conceptual manipulator design for limited access workspaces
Robotic manipulators for limited access workspaces, or LAWS robots, must operate in unalterable, confined environments accessed through constrictive portals. The characteristics of these robots distinguish them from the currently accepted classes of industrial robots and field robots and evoke a …

Modeling the control of visual attention in complex workspaces
Attentional behavior in complex visual workspaces is driven by the physical and temporal characteristics of the display, the goals and knowledge of the operator, and task demands. Accordingly, to develop effective displays, designers must understand how these factors interact to influence …

Multi-Scale Cursor: Optimizing Mouse Interaction for Large Personal Workspaces
… large displays are integrated into personal workspaces, mouse-based interaction becomes more problematic. Users must repeatedly "clutch" the mouse for long distance movements [61]. The visibility of the cursor is also problematic in large screens, since the percentage of the screen space that …

Spatial Recombination - The Geography of Architects’ Work and Workspaces in Guangzhou, China
A distinct architectural theory regarding the future landscape of workplaces is ‘spatial recombination’, which, in its main proponent William J Mitchell’s words, means that ‘the digital telecommunications revolution of the late twentieth century creates possibilities for decentralization and more …

An application service provider infrastructure for shared workspaces in Internet-based collaborative design
For architectural, engineering and construction projects involving transient 'virtual organizations' composed of non-collocated team-members, the adoption of concurrent design principles is seen as vital. An important aspect of concurrent design is the need for an effective communications …
